Titanium

Introduction to Titanium

Titanium has a number of material properties that make it the ideal metal for demanding applications. These properties include excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals and extreme temperatures. The metal also has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

All of these properties, as well as its high tensile strength, have led to titanium’s broad adoption in the aerospace, medical and defense industries.

Surface Finishes for Your Choosing

Name	Description	Materials	Color	Texture	Link
Anodizing	Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhances wear resistance and hardness, and protects the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, automobile parts, precision instruments, etc.	All materials	Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold.	Smooth, matte finish.	Learn more
Powder Coating	Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.	Aluminum	Black, any RAL code or Pantone number	Gloss or semi-gloss	Learn more
Polishing	Ranging from Ra 0.8~Ra0.1, polishing processes use an abrasive material to rub the part’s surface to make the shine more less shiny, depending on your requirements.	All materials	n/a	Smooth, glossy finish	Learn more
Painting	Painting involves spraying a layer of paint onto the surface of the part. Colors can be matched to a Pantone color number of the customer’s choosing, while finishes range from matte to gloss to metallic.	Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel	Custom	Gloss, semi-gloss, flat, metallic, textured	Learn more
